On The Way

You're doing 80 down the interstate playing eighties rock and roll

Thinking time sure flies it might as well you've got 80 years to go

Then you light one of your cigarettes and you exhale 80 years

Thinking time sure flies when you're not aware of the space between your ears

I've watched the world as it changed and I've seen my share of pain

But I just got to believe that something better is on the way

She holds your hand as you walk across the street and as she helps

You're thinking some day I can walk across the street all by myself

You hold her hand at the hospital and you're fighting back the tears

Thinking time sure flies there's not enough and you pray for the first time in years
